Snuggle...I agree strongly with multi-cultural society, it's basically what built the US into a super power. What you need to look at though is that the behavior Reynolds is talking about has nothing to do with being multi-cultural. It's about people who refuse to integrate into a multi-cultural society.

I forget what university did the study, but a few years ago someone did an analysis on multi-cultural integration. What they found was that almost every major ethnic group which established itself in a multi-cultural nation was able to integrate and generaly modify core beliefs of their ethnic background to an extent in order to establish a place within that society. Even though immigrant groups tend to aggregate in certain regions within a country or city (China Town, Little Italy, etc), there is usually a distinct difference between the accepted behaviors of an integrated ethnic group when compared to the societal norms of their native countries.

The lone exception to this behavior is when you look at large Muslim immigrant groups in Western countries. The vast majority of Muslim immigrants choose to try and perpetuate their societal norms without change or integration into Western society. Instead of merging into their new environment they tend to isolate themselves in general and try to continue the types of behaviors that caused them to leave the places they came from in the first place.

This is the type of behavior Reynolds is talking about, and I agree with him on that.

Teachers who are getting paid close to $100k per year, but are lazy enough to not show up to half the classes.

Teachers in the same category as above, who pretend like they know what they are teaching but have no clue.

Teachers in the same category as above, who refuse to believe that they are wrong about anything.

People who do not wash their hands after eating, especially when I have to shake their hands.

Keyboards that are dirtier than Kano.

Getting killed thanks to the dreaded interp effect in Counterstrike in a row.

You were given a F*CKING n00b tag for a reason!! USE IT OR LOSE IT! (in my opinion) That one is just for State, really....it F*CKING irritates the shit out of me when he comes in under just the most random names, not making a demo of anyone or anything like that...just doesn't wear his tag...I don't think I've seen him wear [n00b] State in many many many many months....


This is one of my newest ones aswell! I have never seen him as State ever unless told by an admin or his n00b tag ever. What really shocked me was that he was an admin, like WTF? He should know better and set an example as an admin and stop this shit.

I just remebered one on the way to work today.

people that slow down or don't get up to speed on an on ramp getting onto the highway omg do I just wanna run into them and tellm to go faster.

another is off ramps yes I understand ur suppose to slow down on them to stop safely, but omg just coast up the hill and stop don't slam the breaks to get to "40"mph after going 75 >.< going down hill undderstandable to slow down but going up COAST damnit.

and speaking of coasting coast down the hill don't ride ur breaks cause ur going 45 in a 25 just coast the hill infront of you will drop you back down to 25. Ugggg ppl piss me off while driving

and, admittedly, i drive at asshole speeds, so anyone who has the audacity, the gall to drive under the speed limit (given ideal road conditions), i just want to rip their heart out with my bare hands. i have ZERO tolerance for that shit. and i don't tailgate either. that's just being a dick.

when my boss throws some project at me that i know nothing about, and that he was already halfway through anyway, and he literally tells me "run with it." *gnashes teeth just thinking about it*

When i make a box of mac-n-cheese, the pasta is all done and, because my dumb ass didn't check before hand, we're out of either milk(and 1/2&1/2), or butter, or both.

when a woodpecker starts pecking on my house at like 6 in the F*CKING morning. (that's where my mossberg 12ga. comes in handy)

yeah, not really pet peeves, more like things that make me go FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...


I absolutely HATE the dumbfucks that try to get in the turning lane when there is a line of traffic. I had to deal with that bullshit for about a month when a highway near my house was under construction. I would speed up and slow down to keep people from converging into the one lane. Quite fun, yet still pissed me off.
